Honest craftsmen.
Curious drinkers.
As we went about our daily lives, we noticed an influx of Big. Big box, big chain, big profit. The illusion of choice and shelves of products owned by the same mega-conglomerates. We felt a lack of personal relationships and human interactions. We decided to break out of the 9-to-5 cycle, embrace our passion for distilling, and do something about it.
We created our distillery to be an echo of a time when we knew the people making our local products. We're hauling ingredients, distilling, taste-testing. You can come in and shake the hand of the person who made your rum, and we'll give you a tour. We’re personable and friendly. While the rest of the world is speeding up, we're returning to a slower pace of life. We're returning to normal.


THE CENTER OF THE BUCKEYE STATE
Ohio has more than 70 registered craft distilleries, and more are clustered in central Ohio than anywhere else. The distilling boom in Ohio was what inspired us to start our own distillery - the idea that maybe, just maybe, we could do it too.
Echo Spirits is located in the Grandview neighborhood of Columbus. We’ve spent the majority of our lives here. The people of central Ohio are creative, intelligent, and energetic. We are nothing if not an echo of our community, and we strive to give back and improve that which surrounds us. There is nowhere else to pursue our passion but Columbus.

BUYING LOCAL
Our livelihoods depend on people buying local, so we put our money where our mouths are. We use locally-made products as often as we can, and support people in Ohio whenever possible.
The spices for our Spiced Rum and our Genever come from North Market Spices. We work with Simple Times Mixers to re-use their pineapple for our Pineapple Rum. We buy all of our grain from Rustic Brew Farm and Brandt Family Farm. And even though Ohio has great soil for sugar cane, we don't have a 10-month growing season, so no one grows it - BUT we still buy it from a company based in Ohio.
And the little things matter too. Our labels come from Blue Label Packaging in Lancaster. We print all of our paper materials at local area printers. And all of the beer we serve is from local breweries.
In short, we keep money flowing in Central Ohio to support the great people living here.


GRAIN TO GLASS? OFTEN!
We're very open and honest: we make some of our spirits from scratch and source and blend others. Our rum lineup is entirely our own: mashed, fermented, distilled, and aged in-house. Our whiskeys are a combination of grain-to-glass and sourced-and-blended.
What never changes is our commitment to quality. Any bottle with our name on it is something we are proud of. If we distill it, we're fixated on every detail throughout the whole process. If we source it, we are tasting every single barrel coming through our door and hand-selecting the barrels going into a batch. We wouldn't dream of blindly dumping barrels, not knowing the result.
